I assume The NXT will use 6 - 1.5v alakline batteries for a 9v system.
Maybe the rechargable pack is a 9.6v nicd or nimh (preferrably).  I haven't
studied the pictures enough to tell if 8 - 1.2v batteries would fit under
there (which I doubt).  We'll find out eventually. ;)

As for the Legacy support for non-digital.  I assume the MUPs have tried to
see if this sort of thing is built in already (which I would have assumed)
by connecting the new stuff with the old stuff and playing around.  I know I
would have. :P

Darn those pesky NDA's!!!!

Legacy motor and sensor connecting wire also not (...) (21 years ago, 18-Jan-06, to lugnet.robotics)
